From the Washington Post:
As the General Assembly debates global warming and the death penalty, Myers (R-Washington) has something else on his mind: the outsized plastic testicles that truckers dangle from the trailer hitches of their pickups.
To some truckers, they are manly expressions of rural chic. But Myers, who says his Western Maryland district is brimming with giant fakes on the roadways, calls them vulgar and immoral -- and filed legislation this week to outlaw them.
I'm still giggling.
I look forward to the charts and photographs.

Was The Post feeling left out of the scrotum debate?

I had to go to the website because I found the whole thing hard to believe. Who knew "Your Nutz" could be such a popular commodity? Though the tie-in with the Newbery scrotum issue like a gift from above...
